Clean Power by the Hour

RMI's research paper 'Clean Power by the Hour' evaluates the costs and emissions impacts of hourly carbon-free energy procurement strategies across seven global electricity markets to determine how matching electricity demand with supply on an hourly basis affects grid decarbonization.

• Hourly load-matching strategies are capable of establishing the necessary foundation for a decarbonized electricity grid over the long term.
• To maximize the reduction of emissions in the short term, hourly procurement strategies must be specifically adapted to the grid dynamics of the particular region.
